The Old Castle Defense(TOCD)

**Proof of Stake (PoS) Explained**  

PoS is a blockchain consensus mechanism used by networks like Ethereum, Cardano, and Solana. Instead of miners solving complex puzzles (as in Proof of Work), validators are chosen to create blocks based on the amount of crypto they stake as collateral.  

**Why It’s Important:**  
✅ **Energy Efficient** – Uses less power than mining  
✅ **Scalable** – Supports more transactions  
✅ **Accessible** – Anyone can stake, no expensive hardware needed  

**Risks:**  
⚠️ **Centralization** – Large stakers have more influence  
⚠️ **Slashing** – Validators can lose funds for misconduct  

PoS is shaping a greener, faster, and more inclusive blockchain future.
